Cool cockpit isn't it? All analog.
I sit it in every year. And I've usually had a beer or 3. :) (Hops and Props at the Museum of Flight every Feb)  _________________ "I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me."- Hunter S. Thompson |

Thanks SD very entertaining and brought a chuckle to my day. Fantastic storyteller and a testament to Cold War engineering.
